Pleasant Grove City Council Met on Tuesday Evening, Business Session Members of the city coun-cil met in regular session Tues-day evening January 15, 1974. Mayor Cornell Haynie presid-ed and Councilmen Mark Bez-zant and Frank Mills were pres-ent. Councilman Ford West ar-rived late at the meeting, com-ing directly from work. Art Steele, city superintend-ent, was present at the meet-ing to give his monthly report of city department activities. He presented a sheet of infor-mation which could be given to builders in the city setting forth city policies relative to water and sewer connections, street improvements and oth-er building details. The coun-cil felt that this information should be printed and given to each individual who applies for a building permit. Mr. Steele discussed with the council various matters of business relative to depart-ment activities. He recommen-ded that several of the em-ployees working in the water and sewer department be en-couraged to attend the water and waste water works oper-ator school to be held in Salt Lake City. He also recommen-ded that the building inspec-tor attend the plumber's con-vention to be held soon. The council approved thes recom-mendations. Bill Hoglund, city recreation director, met with the council to review plans to establish a swimming pool committee and to prepare for opening of the swimming pool this summer. He reported on the repairs that need to be made at the pool before it can be opened. He also made several recommen-dations which, he felt could re-duce many of the problems previously experienced with the operation of the pool. The council authorized Mr. Hoglund to proceed with plans to pre-pare the swimming pool for summer activities. Mr. Hoglund also discussed with the council the need tc light the pony league diamond located at the rodeo grounds ball park..

He asked the council for approval to spend this amount in having the lights installed. The coun-cil said that a review of the city budget and finances would have to be made to determine if and when this could be done. Noall Wootton, city attorney met with the council along with Allen Zabel, to discuss the in-creasing need for legal services in Pleasant Grove.

Gerald Bringhurst, executive director of the Utah County Housing Authority, met with the council to explain use of money allocated to Pleasant Grove through the emergency housing act.

Asks for Suggestions The Strawberry Days Asso-ciation committee has under advisement during this past year, a suggestion that would eliminate one set of royalty at the annual pageant and from the royalty visits to other cities both before and after the local celebration. The two sets of royalty are also augmented by a set of Ro-deo Queens, making Pleasant Grove the only city we know to have three sets of royalty. The committee has recogniz-ed that there both favorable and unfavorable sides to this suggestion and has attempted to list them. For 2 Sets of Royalty Kepping two sets of royalty would allow a broader repre-sentation and more girls would have the opportunity and ex-perience of being royalty. The audience would be al-lowed to still participate in the selection of Miss Pleasant Grove. Against 2 Sets of Royalty The expense of two floats, and the expense of handling and transporting the two sets is becoming more costly. Question of who is the real royalty, and feelings between the girls is a problem some-times, and also there is some dissatisfaction of public voting. Public asked to decide The committe has made the decision to let the public de-cide. You may comment by marking the ballot below and sending it to the Strawberry Days Association, P.O. Box 421 Pleasant Grove. These ballots must be in by Feb. 15. If you do not want to use this ballot, make your own, or drop us a postcard. For two sets of royalty Against two sets of royalty Also if you have any sug-gestions about the royalty pag-eant, or the Strawberry Days as a whole, the committee will be glad to hear your suggest-ions. American Fork Canyon Land Use Plan Available After many months of inter-est and public input, the Draft Environmental Statement and Proposed Land Use Plan for the American Fork Canyon-Prov- o Peak Planning Unit is available for review, according to Bruce B. Hronek, Forest Supervisor, Uinta National Forest. The Preliminary Proposed Plan was released on June 1, 1973. Public comment was received through September 30. Many persons voiced interest in the management of their land. The Interdisciplinary Team then made necessary adjustments on the key issues indentified by the various phases of the input received. These changes are displayed in the "Consulta-tion With Others" Section of the Plan. "This Proposed Land Use Plan establishes long-rang-e objectivies and direction for management of the area of National Forest land from the Lone Peak area on the north to Springville on the south," Hronek said. A copy of the Draft State-ment and Land Use Plan was filed with the Council on En-vironmental Quality on Jan-uary 8, 1974. "We invite all interested to study this docu-ment and submit any addition-al comments or concerns you may have by March 22, 1974, after which time the Final Environmental Statement and Land Use Plan outlining the firm management action will be prepared," Hronick conclu-ded. The Plan is available for re-view at the Supervisor's Office in Provo, and District Ranger Offices in Heber, Pleasant Grove, and Spanish Fork. It is also available in the libraries shown on the elclosed list Former SDA Presidents Advise 2 Sets of Royalty The following is a letter re-ceived by the Review about the Strawberry Days Royalty. Read elsewhere in the paper about the suggestion on eliminating one set of royalty. As most of you know, Pleas-ant Grove's Strawberry Days Association is an organization of civic, church and social clubs organized to conduct the tra-ditional Strawberry Days cele-bration. The people of Pleasant Grove, Lindon and Manila are all represented. This association has been in existence since 1959 and has proved to be a boon in the operation of the celebration, being able to provide a well-- rounded and meaningful cele-bration with no expense to the taxpayers in the area. In fact, the Association has been able to divert funds realized from the celebration into many civic activities. The Association has served as a model for the for-mation of similar associations in other cities within our state. If the reason to have a cele-bration is to provide maximum enjoyment and pleasure to as many of the area residents as possible, the best way to do this is to involve as many of those people in one way or an-other. In this aspect, I think that many of you will agree that because our celebration provides many different events, that is carnival, parades, rodeo, kiddie parades, talent contests, etc., that most of our area citi-zens are participants in the celebration. Recently a serious effort has developed in the Strawberry Days Association to do away with one of our oldest tradi-tions and one that is very im-portant to our celebration, we feel. A proposal has been made to eliminate the Miss Pleasant Grove selection from our queen pageant. This proposal alleges that we should not have a Miss Pleasant Grove because: (a) it costs too much, (b) it detracts from the queen, (c) handling nine girls is a pain in the neck and (d) people who they meet are confused as to who is the queen. Let us make some points that we think are being over-looked by the proposal to elim-inate Miss Pleasant Grove. 1.
